Movie Reviews:

I've waited eleven long
years and suffered through a lot of misinformation, false theories, and
reneged promises in hopes that a fifth installment of the long-running
Tremors franchise would come to fruition. I remember watching the first
two films back-to-back on my off days from elementary school,
brainstorming the possibilities for what a fifth film would entail. I
remember scouring the internet upon being acquainted with it around the
same time in hopes that some tidbits of information about a potential
fifth film would circulate. I even remember trying to find answers as to
why Tremors: The Series, the short-lived Sci-Fi Network program, was
taken off of Hulu before being subsequently released on DVD, a date I
faithfully marked on every calendar I owned. I even remember when
Tremors 5 was reportedly going to be called "Tremors V: The Thunder from
Down Under," potentially starring Kevin Bacon alongside Michael Gross
to make the fifth installment an essential, circumventing chapter.

With
all that, you can infer I was etched into this series and its world
probably as much as the creators were, and eleven years later, well into
college and almost past my insatiable craze for Tremors, I finally have
gotten my wish. The fifth installment of the series, boasting the
subtitle "Bloodlines," concerns an aged, but still spirited, Burt Gummer
(Michael Gross), who is now hosting a survivalist TV show on network
Television, which has him venturing out into the deep desert of his
hometown of Perfection, Nevada to hunt dangerous creatures of all sizes.
Filming for one episode is interrupted when Travis (Jamie Kennedy), a
young hot-rod on a dirtbike, speeds through and offers to be his
cameraman and marketer, promising to turn the Gummer name into a
globally recognized brand. This comes at the same time a man claiming to
be from a South African Wildlife organization offers Burt a hefty sum
of money to hunt and capture the subterranean beasts known as Graboids,
specifically Ass Blasters, that have invaded the Cradle of Humankind in
South Africa. Burt jumps at the opportunity, with Travis tagging along
for good measure, but upon arriving in South Africa, the two realize the
worms have surprisingly, yet unsurprisingly, taken a bold new turn in
their biology.
